This whole thing just drowns in jargon and quick technical assertions that are never explained. It is skimming the surface (as though clipped together from various poorly understood sources) rather than explaining things with any depth. The heart of this story is how PC sound worked and how it evolved. Instead you have recitations of speeds and feeds.
So, I cover the entire industry at ARF, and Adlib will come. The problem is finding the sources. Sorry you didn’t care for it. Also, as Creative didn’t make most of their chips, those too will eventually be covered.
I had the Creative Labs 3D Blaster PCI with the rendition verite chip another deadend chip lol but i think in some ways the most modern looking gpu as it was a risc processor
Any GPU that got its own port of Quake can’t be that bad… of course, that’s the port that got Carmack to swear off doing another custom hardware port again!
